                                                 Peyote Stitch; Stringing; Crimping

This has been a popular necklace class in the past 2 years and Anne is teaching it again in 2009. This class not only teaches a student the basics of flat peyote stitch, but also some basics in stringing a necklace and the various ‘findings’ involved in doing so. If a student cannot take the class on the date scheduled, Anne and Imagine will schedule an additional class – at no additional cost – so that you do not miss out on this fun class.

Class	This is an excellent class to learn flat peyote stitch while incorporating several different sizes of seed beads. Students will have a choice of making just the large beaded bead or the large bead and the two small ones that go on each side. You will learn how to assemble and string the necklace, as well as how to crimp and finish a necklace using many different types of beads, findings, and crystals.
Prerequisite	Fear not the "BLING".
Class Size	Maximum of 8 students
Materials to Bring	Scissors (do not forget your scissors) and eyeglasses if needed.
Materials in Kit	Everything – and we mean EVERYTHING – is provided. New color choices. If there is a special color combination you would like, just give Anne 2 weeks notice to put together that ‘special kit.’ Then, just bring your willingness to have fun and learn.
Class Fee	$40 per student, payable  to Anne at Imagine! (deposit required) includes both sessions.
Kit Fee	$30 (plus tax) per kit, payable to Imagine! at the class.

Goodbye Café * Hello Gift Shop

    The snow is very pretty but always looks better if you are playing in it or watching it from a cozy room with a large window as opposed to shoveling it or driving in it. At the shop we have had a lovely, restful break from all the holiday frenzy and now it is time to relax a little and make that wonderful sweater or piece of jewelry for yourself. Also, a good time to start holiday gift making for next year. This time I'm going to be very organized.Right! The idea is good,maybe make one thing a month for gifts. Taking a class right now is a very delicious luxury. Sip some tea, munch a cookie and make something really breathtaking. Imagine is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00-5:00 until the spring comes. Many afternoons people gather around the front table and work on projects and chit chat while they work .They "ouu" and "ahh" over each other's work and say " I want to make that" We love to see the sharing and visiting. Spending time with other crafters is part of the fun. If you're not crafty, its all right, come visit. There are pretty things in the store to browse and shop, coffee is free. Take a snow break. Even I plan to finally finish my three projects. I am determined to have them on hangers by the end of January and ,as always, I can't wait to start something new. Last winter I even got to take a class. It was so much fun. Laughing is always part of the curriculum. See you soon.

Our stylish model,Janette Buck, enhances the look of our new Louisa Harding sample from her Summer Classics book. Sandy is planning a class after the holidays. The very feminine shrug is a great layered piece for jeans, as seen here, or dress it up with an evening look. Simple cables surround the stockinette base, great project for learning cables. It is made with Nautical Cotton by Louisa Harding.Come see the sample and write your name down so we can call you for class times.

 




Imagine! is 2 1/2 years old (toddler) and we have attended the What' New Fair for three seasons. The first year Debbie Manning and I set up a small table and displayed and sold a sampling of what we offer at the store. The second year, Barb Slumsky helped and we only offered class sign up sheets and samples. This year we looked so professional thanks to Jim and Anne who lent us their beautiful booth design and shared the space with us. The Fair is a great networking opportunity and a great way to visit with friends. Here are a few pictures. By the way Anne fans, she is getting ready to launch a whole bunch of new classes so stay tuned.
